Although Gen 3 is still in the process of rolling out, the Pokemon GO community is always ready to look ahead and start planning for the next stage of the metagame. Gen 4 is likely close to a full year away, but it’s never too early to start planning for which pokemon will be the most important for Battle Raids and holding Gyms when they do arrive.
